Flea Market {Detroit Lakes}

Look at what we found at the flea market!! It was fate...

We hung out with our friends for a bit and the kids got to swim. Good day.

My Fav Quotes from the Kids

"Wait a minute, why aren't you at work today??" -Mickey(referring to the fact that I had helped out for the previous 3 days at my friends' new fabric store) "Oh, I'm done with that."- Me "You got fired ALREADY??" -Mickey(as if it was only a matter of time...)
"You can be Governor someday Daddy. Because then when I see you I can say: "Aalow Gov-na!" -Jeffrey
"After midnight all the ruffians come out and want tacos." -Jeffrey
"My breath smells like a pet store. The fish section. No, seriously." -Mickey
"You know you're becoming a man when you get pimples, zits, and wisdom teeth." -Mickey
"This recipe is from the Happy Herbivore." -Me "Oh yeah, well I'm a cranky carnivore." -Mickey
"Your taste buds are really maturing!" -Me "Yeah, but my throat buds are burning." -Mickey
"The more food you eat, the better the belly drums." -Jeffrey
"I'd rather wear a Barbie band-aid than never eat meat again!" -Mickey
"I want to be an orthodontist when I grow up so I can make $400 and then I'll buy a mansion and ride around in a limo with a cho-fur that lets me beep the horn. I'll have a pet cobra or maybe some piranas with rabies. I like fighting with vicious things that are smaller than me." -Mickey
"Me and Jeffrey will both be orthodontists and we'll sleep in bunk beds and talk at night. And Jeffrey will watch my robots for me when I leave for a long time on my trips." - Mickey
"I wish showers were dead flowers." -Jeffrey(as in taking a shower- he HATES them more than anything)
"My hair feels like bear fur."-Mickey
"Mickey, do you think I'm funny?" -Me ...silence... and then Mickey(without looking up from his book): "Do you?"
"My tastebuds are shivering. And it hurts." -Jeffrey
"If you get thrown in jail I'll come break you out." -Jeffrey to Mickey
"It changed your life, didn't it?" -Jeffrey to Mickey(after he tried ketchup for the 1st time)
"If we are both in jail you can have my bologna Mickey." -Jeffrey
"They don't give you hardly anything in jail to keep you occupied. Just a harmonica." -Mickey
"I wish my life was more like riding in a car. You know: temperature control, comfy reclining seats, music playing in the background, and never having to walk anywhere." -Mickey
"I am the 3rd slowest species in the universe. I'm faster than a snail and a turtle." -Mickey
"I need to eat a french fry because my mouth is too soft." -Jeffrey
"At sleep overs we can bend the rules a little bit;" -Amber "Sa-weet! Can we burp with our lips open?" -Mickey
"Jeffrey and I look alike from a distance and in the dark." -Mickey
"School is irrelevant to my life." -Mickey
"I'm probably going to do all the things that normal teenagers do someday. You know, chew lots of gum, skateboard, and drink soda. But there's one thing I'm not going to do. Be mean to Mom and Dad. Never." -Mickey
"You shouldn't walk on the sidewalk in the summer without shoes on because you might get double hot foot." -Mickey
"I think we should build an out-house." -Mickey
"My life needs background music." -Mickey
"Do you know what cheddarella is? Half cheddar, half mozzerella. It's Japanese." -Mickey
"Is that yogurt sour? It looks like it made you cringe." -Me "No, I didn't fringe." -Mickey
"Mickey you walk as fast as grass grows." -John "Good one Dad. That's a good one. (then after several silent minutes later)But you do know you can't actually SEE grass grow." -Mickey "Right..." -John
"I just really love remixes." -Mickey
"Greatest day ever! My teacher says we aren't doing Fast Math anymore... because we aren't good at it." -Mickey
"We{the world} need more jetpacks. I haven't even seen 1 in my whole life!" -Mickey
"This summer I need to do some things to make money. For example: lemonade stands, mowing the grass, raking leaves, maybe an outdoor shower." -Mickey "An outdoor shower??" -John "Yeah, you know, I'll put a sprinkler up in a tree." -Mickey "So you want people to come to our yard and shower? And pay you for it?"- John "Oh. Right. I guess never mind about that one." -Mickey
"I think my pinky toe is going to fall off it's so cold. I can't feel it. Wait. It just fell off. Now what am I supposed to do? What do 4th graders do when their pinky toe falls off? Why does it have to be so cold here?" -Mickey(in a very elevated distressed voice)
"Whatever happened to a weekend?" -Mickey
"Olive oil and vinegar dressing isn't so bad once your tongue stops cramping."-Mickey
"Sarah, are you drinking booze out of my iguana straw?"-Mickey
"You ladies go ahead and finish up your beers."-Mickey
"This apple tastes like it was already chewed."-Mickey
"You mean Estelle is coming over to our house to take a shower?"-Mickey
"Booze and boats don't mix."-Mickey
